#Literally. Who knows. Who knows!

So, I love the Eldritch Abomination MK TheoryTM. Really hope they are going for something like that. I do wonder, though, if they'll do this by making MK secretly one of the other celestial monkies. There are two appart from Wukong and Macaque mentioned in JTTW, though not much is said beyond "They exist, they are called this and can do that." The one I am thinking of is the Long Armed Gibbon, who's said to be able to move the sun and moon. The show does cut out to space a lot when MK does something big with his powers.

“The first,” said Tathagata, “is the Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom, who knows transformations, recognizes the seasons, discerns the advantages of earth, and is able to alter the course of planets and stars. The second is the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey, who has knowledge of yin and yang, understands human affairs, is adept in its daily life and able to avoid death and lengthen its life. The third is the Tongbi Gibbon, who can seize the sun and the moon, shorten a thousand mountains, distinguish the auspicious from the inauspicious, and manipulate planets and stars. The fourth is the Six-Eared Macaque who has a sensitive ear, discernment of fundamental principles, knowledge of past and future, and comprehension of all things. These four kinds of monkeys are not classified in the ten categories [of life], nor are they contained in the names between Heaven and Earth.” (Wu & Yu, 2012, vol. 3, p. 115).

EAMK Theory™ has the potential to be applied in a lot of different ways, which is part of the reason I'm so fond of it! Maybe MK is a celestial primate, maybe he's something else, who knows!

But, say MK was originally a celestial primate...

Out of the 2 other primates, the Long Armed Gibbon definitely feels the most applicable to MK:

seizing the sun and moon,

shortening a thousand mountains,

distinguish the auspicious from inauspicious,

and manipulating the planets and stars.

It's also interesting that both the stone monkey and the long armed gibbon are described as "altering the course/manipulating the planets and stars". It's hard to say anything more on the matter because we know so little about the other celestial primates, but in regards to long arms.....

So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...

i'm sorry but i don't think we should call this the "autism website" when there's still posts with tons of notes mocking people who:

struggle with social skills / have anxiety around social settings

are unemployed / unable to work certain jobs

have intense or "age-inappropriate" interests

haven't had certain life experiences that are deemed universal/essential

struggle with personal hygiene

don't have any friends or dating experience

don't go outside much or at all

take things literally / don't get sarcasm/jokes

have unusual ways of speaking

generally aren't "normal"
